Josh Freeman Is Seeking A Trade

Former Buccaneers starting quarterback Josh Freeman is seeking a trade, a source close to the situation told FOXSports.com on Wednesday, just hours after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback was demoted to the backup role behind rookie Mike Glennon.

No official communication has been made to or from Freeman, the source said, but the request to engage in talks is expected to come soon. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the Bucs would be open to trade talks.
